When the trio logged in the game together, the rest of the team was already gathered at their private lounge, waiting for the match to start.
Even if they knew that only one of them would be fighting for this match due to the mode that the two teams had agreed upon earlier, they still preferred to watch the match together since they could exchange thoughts and insights about the battle.
Seeing Arthur logged in the game along with Shin and Leonard, the group was surprised at first before quickly showing a huge smile on their faces.

"Earlier? But I did not see you-…" Cloe squinted her eyes as she tried to guess what time Arthur came back.
She then remembered something, realizing what had happened. "Ah! That commotion earlier! You three go and ruin the backyard again!"
